November Miscellania

Crumby has been super busy this month.   What's Crumby been doing?  Like all good Americanos,  Crumby has been shopping. What for?  Gizmos, play purties, and story books. But that doesn't mean Crumby has ignored his non-shopping related environment entirely.  No.  Crumby has not been 100% shopping obsessed to the exclusion of all other environmental stimulation.  

For example,  on F1 Sunday Crumby took some time out from the Americano pastime, shopping, to stand out in the backyard and shoot the finger at helicopters passing overhead.  Not surprisingly, the helicopter responsible parties decided to route the passage of the airborne idle rich over relatively working class south Austink.  So there stood Crumby, shooting them the finger.  Let's go slummin'!  Let's go slummin'!  Let's go smellin', where they're dwellin'! 

Then the other bullshit Crumby has noticed is no rain in these parts since early October.  Not a drop.  Do you think any of the idle rich attending F1 brought their own water?  Course not.

No wonder Crumby attempts to distract himself, like any good Americano, with shopping. Plus, shopping is good for the economy.  Especially the Chinese economy.  Yes.  As an average communist,  Crumby prefers to buy Chinese products whenever possible.

Consider this.  The Biao Zhun company or soviet? makes plastic framed copies of the Bergeon 4039 and 4040 watch movement holders which they vend for $8 dollars a set (see vendor's box below).  Course those particular items arrive on a slow boat so you need to order them well ahead of when you feel like you might need them.  But when they do finally arrive , they are quite serviceable. 

Then too, the communists included a free gift,  finger cots, with Crumby's order.  How did they know Crumby employs finger cots?  How thoughtful was that?  Good ness!



One thing though,  if your movement is plastic, like a Seiko kinetic, you might want to use a metal holder.  Plastic on plastic can be slippery.  Not to worry though,  The Chinese communists make metal movement holders too.  I bet some metal ones are on a slow boat headed this way at this very nonce.

Finally, one gizmo Crumby always wanted, but never had, until recently, is a digital caliper.   No fret there.   Harbor Freight has one less of those since Crumby purchased his.  Yes.  Now Crumby can acurately measure his old nemesis, screws.  (Often the screws are tiny.)   So that when he destroys the screws or tiny screws,  Crumby can now get new replacement screws of the same exact proportions thanks to his Chinese communist digital caliper from Harbor Freight.  How patriotic is that ?
